| Reverse description | A panoramic landscape scene depicting a radiant sunrise, with bold rays of light emanating from a rising sun breaking above the horizon at centre. The foreground features rocky terrain with figures, trees, and shrubbery to either side, conveying a scene of dawn breaking over the land. The Latin motto REDDIT POST TENEBRAS DIEM — meaning 'He restores daylight after darkness' — arcs around the upper circumference as the border legend, alluding to the restoration of imperial glory with Charles VII's coronation. |
